About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to Desert Holly House! A 3 bed, 2 bath charmer with an amazing layout and cheerful, bright energy that feels quintessentially "Palm Springs"! This 1959 Alexander Home was originally designed by renowned architects Palmer and Krisel. It has a wonderfully spacious floor plan flooded in natural light and featuring both a family and living room that open up onto a lush oversized backyard with a sparkling pool, majestic trees and dramatic mountain views and pastel desert sunsets! Two lovely bedrooms overlook the beautifully manicured landscape. The ultra spacious primary suite is a true retreat with a reading nook, built-in vanity, huge walk-in closet and direct access to a private lounge area and the bright blue pool. Additional features include raised ceilings, a large stand alone spa and a totally finished garage gym with a built-in mini split and insulated garage door. The backyard is your own private desert sanctuary! You'll find yourself surrounded by magic and tranquility in every direction; from the built-in outdoor kitchen, lush fruit trees (Meyer lemons, yum!) to the hummingbirds and lounge areas surrounding the epic pool, you will feel a sense of zen the moment you step outside. This property has been a beloved, highly rated vacation rental with repeat guests for years but also serves as a beautiful canvas to bring your own vision if you chose to make it your own! All in a dream location just a stone's throw from the downtown strip, Victoria park and all the cutest coffee shops Palm Springs has to offer. Comes fully furnished, pets are welcome!
